Ok… so this is awesome. I have a Surveyors Dictionary App that has far less rows, but I am having a hard time figuring out how to add the search screen in a way which doesn’t overload my free app. Any chance you could provide a short tutorial? ---

You have to create a formula that bring only limited amount of results to a sheet where glide takes data from, to populate list, than another function to bring next load of limited results when user click next button. In my app i divided results by 100 at the time, so it will fast load data and not cross 500 rows limit for the free app ---

When you say “formula” do you mean create an action or multistep action? ---

Formula in Google sheets, all magic is happening in Google sheets, glide is only displaying results ---

I think it only works well with display app. Can we edit data ---

You can easily add data the way you would normally do, to edit it… that has to be done by script, so it will be about 5 seconds delay. @administrasi_kitsda… so if a little delay is not a big problem… you can have a free app with up to 5 million rows… but if don’t mind up to 10-15 seconds delays… you can expand the rows limit almost infinitely… by adding more Google sheets and spreadsheets.
